it was not about politics or whether we should have healthcare reform or healthcare changes. it was always about the and whether the federal government had the authority to do what they did. i would say the same thing here. whether market based exchanges, federal or state, is good for oklahoma citizens or virginians is a policy decision. but the congress has spoken clearly here. congress has said to the states you have a decision to make. here is your decision. expand medicaid or adopt an exchanges. here are the benefits that you receive on behalf of your citizens on both counts. states are making the decisions as we speak. oklahoma has chosen not to adopt an exchange. the benefit of that is that our employers are not subject to the employer mandate penalty. and, as you indicated, perhaps other states will make a different decision. but we must enforce what the law says. it is about making sure an agency, in this case the i.r.s., does what the law says. we believe they have exceeded in by approving that statute that is not unique to oklahoma because there were others in washi

with federal agencies at times in the environmental and energy context, and the finance sector, and healthcare context, where agencies have acted in a way that is inconsistent with the power and authority. and a representative democracy is all about making sure our elected officials to adopt a law -- in this case, congress -- they set up a framework. the agency administers the law. if the agency disregards the framework set up by the legislative branch, it is inconsistent with our constitutional form of government. and that is bigger than a question about health care, bigger than a question about finance and energy and environment. it is about our ability as citizens across the country to have confidence in how we implement it. -- how we adopt law and how we implement it. i have been a business owner -- i have been a business owner experienced anything the rising health-care costs. it's a major problem congress has addressed and states have addressed let's make sure the intent articulated in a lot is maintained and enforced and not give authority to an agency acting inconsistent with that. hos
